The sun was finally shining again on Thursday in Savannah’s Tremont Park, but the aftermath of days and days of rainfall was still obvious.

Most paths into this small neighborhood on the city’s west side were still closed. Water sloshed halfway across the road that was open and water lines on most houses showed how high the flooding reached.
